AxncF.i.oTE of Da. Franel:::. The
doctor was walking one day in
Front street, in the city of Philadel
phia, at the dawn of our Revolution,
when he was thus accosted by a tar:
1j your name Den Franklin!' Yes.
Are jo'.i the man who invented the
sawdust pudding?' Yes, replied the
Doctor: Then,' said the s ailor, 'don't
give the receipt to make it to old ,
our merchant, or ho will feed all his
crews on it.'
The story of the 'sawdjst pudding,
as it was called, nrosa in this man
ner. The Doctor Uud conducted an
independent paper i.i Philadelphia,
which gave o!l nca to a class who
wanted to rule everybody in their
own way; and the heads of this par
ty, some fifteen or twenty, informed
the Doctor that they would frown him
down, unless ho would submit to the
curb. The Dact. proposed to explain,
r.nd fixed the lime at his house, where
the gentlemen were invited to dine.

The eoiiip.wy met: the two pudJings
were served on the table without smv
other dishes; the compwy sit down,
nnj each fri-nd was served with his
sliee of pudding. Their curi.issty led
them to try it; they cxinvned each
other's countenance?, and at length
were satiated with the pudding.
Friend,' sii 1 the Doctor,' 'will you
be helped to mure?' 'No,1 they all re
plied. 'we hive had enough of your
pudding. I it what means this?'
'Why,' replied the Doctor, 'it means
to tell you that the two puddings cost
two pence, fifteen friends say

Whiskej'. A m t remarkable re
duction has tikru l.ici in the de
mand for this a. tilo dining the past
twelve months. The demand was
muh rcdoci'd a year ago; but now it
is not half whir i' wis then. The
distillers, four r fi.e years sine",
wore running their w-'rks night and
day. pressed who e demand for
whiskey, and C'-r.-u ning rye and corn
in i:n:ii' ns3 qurmti it; at onetime,
four thousand live bundled bushels
d ;!y. Now the consumption is less
than two thousand bushels daily, and
is rapidly diminishing. There is on
hand here n stock of twelve thousand
barrels of whiskey, and such is the
decreased demand, that there is no
diminution of stock, notwithstanding
the great diminution of supply. The
distillers appear to be as much pleas
ed with the change, ns their fellow
citizens generally. Thv are now
reducing their won; as fist as possi
ble, so that for the next crop of coarse
grain we presume the demand in this
market. from the distilleries will not
exceed one f nrt'i of what it was at
the highest p.iM. The falling off
cannot he less ;! m a nii'lion of bush
els for the yea'. This change cannot
but have some e:'.H-t on the muket.
Yet on the o'her I and, 'he men who
for years b :!;. h.ivc been puzzling

half starved, ui.l now cat bread and
meat and krep tiVir families well fed.
In a multitude of families this happy
change has a! road) t.iken place. The

No man is wcio-is and wasteful with

truly thrive upon the vi-.-es and dis

their morality ml general good hab
its. Vice wit! be made a mother of
trade, as every tiling else is; but those
who make money by it, are likely to
contract its pollution, and so sink
with those whom they pamper or
rob. Virtue makes the man who
practices it, vigorous and comforta
ble, and generally gives him some
property. As the wealth of a nation

AxF.r.iciN follt. We have seen it
frequently stated in paragraphs and
in b.oks that Americans in Europe
are noted jt extravagance in dress,
and under pretentions of love of
show. If this be true it indicates a
most ridiculous vanity, to say nothing
of very bad taste. The Paris cor
respondent of the National Intelli
gencer in a late letter says, at a late
presentation of some Americans at
the French Court, one of them remind
ed bis majesty that he was an ac
qnaintance, and the King remarked
with a sly expression of his free.
"Why yes, 1 did not know you at
first, dressed up, but I shall always
be glad to see you in any costume."
Mr. Walsh goes on to say that he
has held, of late conversations with
a very intelligent American traveller,
who had surveyed, within the three
years past nearly all the communities
of Germany, and who testifies that
in general, there is considerably less
luxury and show, pretentions and
style, than in our United States, At
lantic and western cities.
There is unquestionably great room
for improvement, at home in these
particulars.
To say that our habits of living and
dressing are extravagantly expensive
would be nothing to the purpose with
many because it is for that very rea
son that they indulge in them, or
seek to do so. It seems to be re
garded as the highest post of secial
rank to be able to spend money pro
fusely. Of course it will be done by
those who can aflbrd it, and will be
attempted by many who cannot af
ford it. Can good taste, true refine
ment, fitness and propriety, do noth
ing in the way of establishing a bet
ter standard? Simplicity, the most
charming of graces, in her union with
elegance requires no lavish adorn
ments, no gaudy decorations. It is
a vulgar ambition that aims at splen
dor, which indicates nothing but an
unmeaning glare, or a mere show to
strike the eye. Dayton Turns,

Correspondence of the Louisville Journal.
. Cincinnati, April 18, 1842.
The news this ir.orninghas relation
to but little except the state of the
markets and the history of Congres
sional proceedings. With regard to
the former, the Philadelphia Gazette
says: "The state of the money
market has decidedly improved. A
little more courage, a little more ef
fort, a little more concert, and the
dangers will be passed, and the diffi
culties surmounted. The ability of
our merchants to meet the present
crisis, and their manly beaming, thus
far, has excited the administration of
people at a distance, who, only a few
months ago, made the misfortunes or
misdoings of certain institutions in
Philadelphia an cTion of sneering
at .he business of this city.
The Baltimore American has the
following:
Specie. The Fredeiick Examiner
says that the banks of that city are
redeeming their obligations in specie,
and continue to icceive greatly more
of it than they pay out. We may
add that the bank of Baltimore free
ly pays specie on demand for their
issues, and that they also are receiv
ing more coin from depositors than
is paid our. The truth is, there is no
demand whatever for specie, exocpt
for the purposes of small change;
and many persons who have been
bearding coin for a considerable lime
past are now glad to be relieved from
the risk and anxic y connected with
it, by depositing it in bank. The
law of Maryland, authorizing the is
sue of small notes, works admirably
well, both lor the community and the
banks.

New Orleans, April.
FLOUR. The market remains in
about the samo state as noticed in
our last Saturday's report, there hav
ing been very little animation in the
demand throughout the week, though,
in consequence ot moderate receipts,
and a considerable portion being for
re-shipment to the North, holders may
be said to evince rather more firm
ness, and it is only occasionally that
lots are bought from the Steam Boat
landing at $5, most oi the sales be
ing from store, and at $5 121 for su
perfine. The stock is somewhat re
duced, but there is still a very fair
supply on hand for this period of the
season. Arrived this week 1,148
obis. Cleared 9G52 bbls., viz: to
New Yoik 3237, Boston 3562. Mo
bile, &c. 317, foreign ports 2537
bbls.
PORK. Tho Pork market is still
laboring undergreat depression, there
being none but a very limited de
mand for Plantation consumption,
Ship Stores, &c, and we have again
to reduce our figures for some des
criptions. Our quotations are now
as follows, viz: Clear 9 00, Mess,
$7 50 a $'7 75. M. O. 6 50 a $6 75,
Prime .$5 75 a G 00, P. O $1 75 a
5 00. These are the prices at pre
sent obtained by the regular commis
sion houses, according to quantity
nnd terms, but lots arc occasionally
forced by the owners at still lower
rates. Bulk Pork is exceedingly dull
at 2 a 21 cents per lb, and the tenden
cy is rather downward than other
wise. All descriptions are very
abundant, and the stocks are daily
increasing. Received this week,
70G3 bl Is. 325,080 pounds. Cleared
4039 bbls, viz: New York 1772.
Boston 1835, Mobile, &c. 302, For
eign ports 130 bbls.
BEC?. The receipts this season
fall materially sdiort of the corres
ponding period last year, but ow ing
to the extremely limited demand a
very ample stock ha gradually ac
cumulated, with a yielding of prices
for some time past. We have agiin
to quote a slight decline in the rate--for
Prime, which are now .$'5 75 a G
per bbl., Mess $10 a 10 50"per bbl.,
half bbls. do. .5 50 a 6. Arrived this
week 199 bbls. Cleared 123 bbl.
viz: to New York 53, Mobile, &c.
50. Cctie 20 bbls.
BACON. The market has a very
ample supply of all desci iptions, but
holders find it impossible to client !
sales to any condcraMe extent, ow-
ing to ihe very limited demand,' and j
even the small business transacting
is done at lower rates than our quota
tions of last week our figures are
reduced accordingly ami are for Hams
41 a 41, Sides 3 a 21, Shoulders 2 a
21c. per lb. The difficulty of effect
ing sales here induces considerable
shipments to other markets, on own
ers account. Arrived this week G15
casks and 7C.O00 lbs. Cleared 79G
casks, viz: to New York 483, Boston !
103. Mobile, &c. 101 casks.
LARD. There has been rather
more business done in this article
during the past week than for some
time previous, several considerable
parcels having been taken for the
North and for France. Tho market
a, the same time has exhibited no
animation or firmness on the con
trary the large stock and the desire
ol holders to e fleet sales, together
with the fact, that tiiere is none of
strictly prime quality, have reduced
prices to a still lower range, and we
now quote extremes at 31 a 45c. per
lb., most of the transactions having
been in qualities ranging from 4 a 41.
It is probable, however, that choice
parcels would still command 41 a 5c.
Arrived this week 284 bbls. and
9177 kegs. Cleared 14,147 kegs,
viz: to New Yoik 1798. Boston
4377, Mobile, &c. 55, Marseilles 7787
other foreign ports 130 kegs.
GRAIN. Some considerable par
cels of shelled Corn, in sacks, have
been taken for shipment to the North,
but the abundant supply has caused'
a further decline in prices. We now
quote at 34 a 3Gc. per bushel. Corn
in the ear 43 a 45c. per bb. Oats 30
a 34c. per bushel. Arrived this week
7474 bbls. Corn in tho ear, 4032
sacks do., 500 bbls Oats. Cleared
7888 sacks Corn, viz: to New York
31 16, Boston 3172, Mobile, Sec. GOO
sacks.
Bagging & Balu Roce. Since the
considerable transactions noticed in
our last, further sales to a fair extent
have been made, and at prices equal
ly irregular nnd widely Tarrying.
The business is principally confined
to Western Bagging and "Rope and
the sales range from 141 a 16; and 6
a 7c. cash, nnd 17 a 19, and 71 a 81c.
on time. The highest prices were
paid for some lots for Mobile, on 8
to 9 months credit. India Bagging
has been sold at 16c. cash and 181c.
on time. In other descriptions there
is nothing doing, and our figures for
them are nominal. Arrived this
week 1827 pieces Bagging and 1229
coils Rope.

there of the English loan to Sar.ta

the public mind was in an unsettled
state in .Mexico there w;:s thought

COXGBESSIOX A ANALYSIS.
Washington, April 14.
Senate. The President of the '
Senate laid before the Senate a mes
sage from the President of the U.
States, in further compliance with
the resolution of the 2d of February
last, requesting information in rela
tion to the demarcation ol the bounda
ry line between the United States
and the Republic of Texas.
Also a communication in compli
ance with the resolution of the 24th
of July last, calling upon the Presi
dent for the correspondence of any
diplomatic agent or minister of the
United States at the Court of Austria,
having reference to the commercial
interest of the United States.
House. The House commenced
its session at 1 1 o'clock.
Mr. Fillmore said that the Genera.
Appropriation Gill had been before
the House in Committee of the
Who'e since the Gih of February last,
now more than two mouths. He
hoped that the debate was now over.
He had wished that the bill might be
taken from the Committee without
a resolution of the kind he was a
houi tointroduce,buthe saw no proba
bility of this, and felt called upon, in
order that the House might act upon
other bills, to move to take this from
the committee on Saturday next at
1 2 o'clock. The Resolution was ac
cordingly submitted.
Mr. Andrews of Ky. moved to
amend, and proposed that the Bill be
taken Irom the Committee lo-mox-row
at 12.
Mr. Adams said that alter the re
marks w hich had been submitted yes.
terday in .'regard to the annextionof
Texas, he felt that some reply was
necessary. Opinions had been utter,
ed in this House, and gone forth to.
the country, which ought to be re-,
pi if d to.
The pievious question wa then,
moved, and the main question order
cd. The amendment of Mr. An
(hews w;: then rejected without a
'!::. The vns and n.ivs were-
pj.
' d Uir i pon t! e res.-hni. n of Mr..
ore, n::d btir.g ordered, the vote-
was 100 to 73.
So ti e House decided to take the
General Appropriation Bill from the
CWiuiitee of the whole, or that all'
del ate shall cease on Saturday at 12i
iiVlck.
-Mr. FiHmoie then as!ed the House
to take up the bill from tho Senate
for the extension of the loan. Ob
jections were made.
The Previous Question was moved?
and seconed, and the main question
ordered. The vote was first taken upon the
amendment of Mr. Clifford, and it
was rejected, 101 to-82.
The amendment of the Senate
was concurred in without a count.
Ine Loan Bil', therefore, wants
j but iho. signature of the President to
become a law of the land.
Mr. Cushing, from tho Committee
oa Foreign Relations, wished also for
ihe adoption- of a resolution calling
for
iiitormaiion ia reference to the
tra.l nnd treaties
between the Uni
ted States and the British Provin
ces. Mr.. Fillmore moved that the
House resolve itself in Committee of
the Whole to take up the General
A nnrfmrintinn Itill IV.. Aki..fiAn.
1 Jianat was caicj
to the Chair, and
the debate oroeeedci!
Mr. Adams' comments upon the
subject of a war with Great Britain,
created more sensasion than is usuai
on such occasions. He deprecates
war as the greatest of eyils to our
own and all countries, and will resist
upon all grounds short of a sacrifice,
of national honor.
SENATE, April 15, 14
Mr. Walker, as a member of tho ju
diciary Committee, hoped the Sena
tor would press those instructions at
the earliest moment. He was anx
ious that the committee, to which
the subject had some time sine been
referred, .should be forced to reoprt
